Chapter 242 It must be God’s will 2 updates
Li Ji's method is a smart one despite his selfishness. It is cost-effective to sacrifice a son's future and reputation in exchange for the stability of the entire Hou family. As the head of the family, he should put the interests of the family first, but Changle Marquis But he couldn't make such a determination. Firstly, he really valued Li Yuan. Although his son was a concubine, he was very resourceful and had solved a lot of troubles for him. He was a useful talent. Secondly, Li Yuan had a relationship with her sister Li Wanyu. Very good, if Li Yuan is sacrificed, Li Wanyu's heart will definitely be chilled. In this way, there will inevitably be discord between the Hou Mansion and the First Prince's Mansion.
This price is not small.
Marquis Changle weighed the pros and cons, thought over and over again, and said, "There are many coincidences in the world. Your brother helped his father outside and offended many people. The other party took advantage of the thunder and lightning to set fire to your brother's yard. He wanted to If there are rumors like this outside, you should also defend yourself."
Li Ji's heart suddenly felt cold and he couldn't help shouting, "Father..."
Marquis Changle's eyes flashed, and he reminded in a deep voice, "Remember, you are brothers. No matter what happens, you should work together as brothers."
Li Ji bent down unwillingly, "Yes, father, about this matter..."
Marquis Changle said, "You don't have to worry about it for now. As a father, you know what to do. Go and see your mother. The thunder and lightning just now may have frightened her. Let the doctor stay outside tonight to prevent Get sick again.”
Li Ji reluctantly agreed and left.
Mrs. Li is also unlucky. A good birthday party ended up like this. We don't know the blessings or the misfortune. If she is really punished, then she will never want to celebrate her birthday again in the future.
Not long after, the fire in Xifengyuan was extinguished. Except for the sycamore trees, the surrounding houses suffered little damage. In addition to commanding his subordinates to put out the fire, Li Yuan also personally led people to investigate.
Unfortunately, even after digging three feet into the ground, no human traces were found.
Li Yuan's face became increasingly ugly, and at the same time, the panic in his heart reached its peak. Could it really be God's will? Is it God's punishment?
Of course he has done many evil things, but among the many high-ranking families in the capital, which one is clean and innocent? How many of those powerful children have never had blood on their hands or owed life debts?
Why doesn't God kill them?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and when he looked at the faces of the servants and nurses around him, he became even more furious. They all looked like they were mourning for their heirs, wasn't that bad enough?
"No one is allowed to say a word about what happened today, otherwise I will kill him."
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said this, staring at everyone like a vicious wolf. If they didn't respond, he would pounce on them and tear them apart in the next second.
The servants quickly knelt on the ground and swore to the sky.
The nursing homes also expressed their loyalty.
Li Yuan actually didn't believe that only the dead could keep secrets, but there were too many people who knew tonight, and killing them all would arouse suspicion among others.
He snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and left.
When he was far away, the servants dared to breathe, secretly glad that they had finally saved their lives, but the fear in their hearts had not faded away. They looked at each other and, without exception, they were all thinking that now Xiao Xiao was basically excluded. If human beings cause trouble, then the only truth left is punishment from heaven.
I'm afraid Li Yuan was the one who punished him. Otherwise, why did he just chop down the trees in his yard?
So, what did Li Yuan do that outraged both humans and gods?
Marquis Changle was also thinking about it. When Li Yuan arrived and the two of them went to the study to talk, he asked directly, "What have you done recently?"
Li Yuan shook his head.
Marquis Changle looked at him doubtfully, "Why should I hide it from my father?"
Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Father, how could my son hide it from you? Besides, in this situation, my son didn't dare to think too much. He really didn't do anything. He just went out to race horses with a few friends and drank. Just a flower wine, these things are not too much, right?"
Changlehou asked, "Did you hurt anyone?"
Li Yuan vowed, "No, my son hangs out with those playboys all day long, but he knows what to do and what not to do. How could he leave any clue?"
"What about in the academy?"
"That's not the case. There is indeed something going on in the college recently, but it has nothing to do with my son. I can only add fuel to the flames. The real troublemakers are Shao Liang, Li Yunxuan, Liu Xian, Xiang Chao and others..." At this point , he paused, "Both Liu Xian and Li Yunxuan were beaten, and they still can't go out. As for Xiang Chao, he was the worst. The yard was haunted, and he was so frightened that he became seriously ill, and he simply dropped out of school."
Marquis Changle had heard about this before, but he didn't take it to heart. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, and just thought it was someone deliberately trying to scare Xiang Chao. But now, he had an inexplicable idea that ghosts were following him. Tonight's lightning and fire may have something to do with it. The more I think about it, the more I feel like it. "How did the college handle the haunting incident in the end? Didn't they find out the person behind it?"
Li Yuan shook his head, "No, this matter will be left alone. Xiang Chao and others were completely uncooperative. The martial arts masters from the academy went to investigate, but they all pushed it aside because of their illness. They bluntly said that they would not pursue the matter anymore, and the martial arts masters went After checking the scene, there were no clues. We can only blame them on doing something bad and suspicions arise."
Changlehou said meaningfully, "Don't you think there are some similarities with what happened tonight?"
They are all weird, and there are no clues. They can only be explained by ghosts, gods and God. But that explanation simply convicts them without any evidence, without any explanation.
However, everyone still believes it.
The most annoying thing is that they are not innocent yet and cannot honestly say that they are innocent and wronged. Even they themselves have to wonder whether they have offended the gods and will be punished by heaven.
Li Yuan understood what his father meant, and his heart became more tormented. Was he trying to make him accept the blame like Xiang Chao? But the nature of the two is completely different. Xiang Chao is haunted, and the incident of catching shadows in the wind was passed away without anyone pursuing it. But now, there is thunder and lightning, and the trees in his yard have been chopped down. These things are probably... Everyone in the capital knows this, how can we expose it lightly?
Besides, there is another big event tonight.
Master Huixin was reciting sutras and praying for the victims. As a result, there was no miracle from heaven as expected, but instead they became a punishment from heaven. If anyone thinks about it, they will put the responsibility on him. Then what has become of him? ?
If he really wants to admit it, even if he has no way to survive, he will not be able to be sacrificed to heaven by the emperor?
Father and son were silent.
The atmosphere in the study was dull and depressing. After a while, Li Yuan said hoarsely, "Father, what happened tonight must not be related to the disaster. It's not that the son is greedy for life and afraid of death, but that even if the son dies, the Hou Mansion will be free." It doesn’t matter, how big the disaster is now. You go to court every day, so you know better than your son. Emperor, I am worried that no one will take responsibility. If you really want to put it on your son, then our Hou Mansion will no longer be able to escape. ."
When Marquis Changle heard this, his expression remained unchanged, but he knew in his heart that his son's analysis was correct, "Then what do you think, how to resolve the crisis at hand? Let alone finding a scapegoat, the fire can be explained, but when thunder and lightning came up, no one believed that it could be solved Man’s manipulation must be God’s will.”
